Bertolami Fine Art Spring Jewellery Sales Feature Artist-Designed Pieces

market-auction · 2026-05-15

Bertolami Fine Art will hold its Spring Jewellery Sales in Milan on May 18-20, 2026, featuring a dedicated section on artist-designed jewelry. A highlight is lot 4: "Romboide," a gold brooch-relief by renowned Italian sculptor Arnaldo Pomodoro, known for his monumental works like the cracked spheres at Palazzo della Farnesina in Rome and the UN headquarters in New York. The brooch reflects Pomodoro's signature contrast between polished surfaces and geometric mechanisms. The auction also includes creations by Calabrian goldsmith Gerardo Sacco and Veronese Alberto Zucchetta, who treat jewelry with a sculptor's mentality. The event begins on May 18 with free valuations of jewelry, watches, and silver, followed by two auction sessions on May 19 and 20. This marks the first time the sale is held in Milan, in collaboration with Viscontea Casa d'Aste.
